Beware the Scorching Ray!

Don’t get caught in its path, beware the Scorching Ray!

Scorching Ray is a laser from the sky that automatically moves towards the nearest enemy it sees. It may be narrow but it is mighty! This high damage, single-target spell gives players precise control over their targets while moving dynamically with the flow of battle.

Riffing a bit on Evil Eye, Scorching Ray plays on classical fantasy lore about a powerful eye in the sky that ominously hunts down its prey. Adding this spell card to your deck is a surefire way to strike fear into the heart of your opponent by quickly disrupting their offense.

Because we wanted to ensure just the right amount of power, Scorching Ray changed more than any other card during development. We tried every variation of size, damage, speed, and even the number of beams that are spawned when played. There was some tension between wanting it to travel between multiple enemy minions and not dealing too much damage.

Scorching Ray is the perfect answer to ranged units that are attacking from a safe distance, but it’s best to wait until the units are grouped up to ensure Scorching Ray always has a target to move towards. Try using it to cut through ranged minions that are in the back line. Unlike some other spells, you don’t have to worry as much about aiming it just right, since it will chase down enemy minions on its own!



Keep an eye out for this new Corruption Spell which will be officially released later this month and featured in some of our upcoming events!
